ESL Teacher looking for full-time position

I am extremely excited to embark on a journey as an ESL teacher. Currently, I have over a year's worth of experience teaching international students from a wide age group; from elementary school level up to working adults. Personally, I prefer teaching teenagers and adults.

I enjoy learning languages just as much as I enjoy teaching them. As a speaker of number of languages myself, I am sensitive to the role of first language interference to the ESL student. Apart form English which is my first language, I speak Malay/Indonesian, Arabic and Hindi/Urdu.

My approach to language learning is largely student-centric and involves plenty of collaborative learning. I am open to adopting different teaching methodologies and I willing to learn whatever it takes to excel as an ESL teacher. Ultimately, I am confident I shall indeed be an asset to your institution.

I have aacquired the following qualifications/certification thus far:

Bachelor of Arts degree from the National University of Singapore

Diploma in Tesol from London Teacher Training College (UK)

Advanced Certificate in Teaching Ielts Asia (ACTIA) from The Tesol College (UK).

As an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher you would help students to learn or improve their English skills and their knowledge of western culture. An EFL teacher teaches English to people whose first or main language is not English. If you enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures, and you want a teaching role, an EFL teaching job could be perfect for you.

You will need a superior level of English, and most employers will expect you to have a degree or a qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). You will also need patience and a good sense of humor. You could specialize in teaching English for Special Purposes (ESP), such as business or IELTS/TOEFL test preparation.

On TeachOverseas.ca, you may find that some jobs, courses, etc. use terms other than EFL such as ESL, TESL, TESOL, ESOL and TEFL. These are all different labels for teaching English to people who do not speak English as a first language.
